  • Patent number: 9250503
    Abstract: An image display device has a light source; a power supply section that supplies power to a light source; a cooling fan that cools the light source; a input section; and a control section that controls the cooling fan and the power supply section. If a first lighting mode in which a power value supplied to the light source is a first setting value is designated through the input section, the control section causes the power supply section to supply power that corresponds to the first setting value to the light source and causes the cooling fan to operate.

  • Patent number: 9236013
    Abstract: A reference luminescence amount-acquiring unit of a display device obtains reference brightness corresponding to a BL drive value detected by a drive value-detecting unit and a temperature detected by a temperature-detecting unit. A deterioration-detecting unit calculates an initial status value based on a ratio of reference brightness obtained based on a temperature and a BL drive value in an initial status and brightness in the initial status detected by a luminescence amount-detecting unit, and stores the initial status value. The deterioration-detecting unit further calculates a current status value based on a ratio of reference brightness obtained based on a current temperature and a current BL drive value and current brightness detected by the luminescence amount-detecting unit, compares the initial status value with the current status value, and determines whether calibration is required.

  • Patent number: 9223193
    Abstract: There is provided a projection-type display apparatus which solves the problem that when an amount of electric power applied to light sources is adjusted, the amount of electric power involved in the cooling of LEDs becomes greater than necessary. Coolers (107R, 107G, 107B) cool light sources (103R, 103G, 103B). Light sensor (111) detects the brightness of a surrounding area. Light case temperature detectors (112R, 112G, 112B) detect case temperatures which are the temperatures of cases of light sources (103R, 103G, 103B). Light source forward voltage detectors (113R, 113G, 113B) detect forward voltages of light sources (103R, 103G, 103B). Light source forward current detectors (114R, 114G, 114B) detect forward currents of light sources (103R, 103G, 103B). Adjuster (117) adjusts the amount of cooling power of coolers (107R, 107G, 107B) based on the forward voltage, the forward current, and the case temperatures.

  • Patent number: 9224353
    Abstract: A liquid crystal monitor includes a first voltage conversion circuit (e.g. a DC/DC converter), which converts an external DC voltage into a first internal DC voltage supplied to CPU circuitry, and a second voltage conversion circuit, which converts the external DC voltage into a second internal DC voltage for driving a backlight of a liquid crystal panel. The external DC voltage is set proximate to a center value between the first internal DC voltage and the second internal DC voltage. This allows the liquid crystal monitor to be equipped with a battery unit producing a single external DC voltage, thus reducing weight compared to a conventional liquid crystal monitor.

  • Publication number: 20150262552
    Abstract: In a display device, a signal level detection circuit detects RGB signal levels for each pixel from an image signal, and then a control circuit detects an area using a gray scale of a single color based on RGB signal levels for each pixel. A first color conversion circuit carries out an image correction on an image signal while a second color conversion circuit carries out another image correction-on an image signal. An H/V position control circuit extracts an image signal of an area detected by the control circuit from an image signal subjected to the image correction of the second color conversion circuit. An image superposition circuit superposes the image signal extracted by the H/V position control circuit with the image signal subjected to the image correction of the first color conversion circuit, thus displaying the superposed image signal on a display.
